Photon-controlled diode: An optoelectronic device with a new signal processing behavior

A photodetector is an optoelectronic device that detects and converts optical signals into electrical signals. Photodiodes, phototransistors, and photoconductors are examples of these devices. Although there are many different types of photodetectors with different mechanisms and structures, the representative behaviour can be summarised as a...

Deep UV photodetectors head to real-world testing

Numerous devices and detectors sense and catalog deep ultraviolet frequencies which the Earth's ozone layer otherwise absorbs. Most solar-blind space-borne imaging platforms still rely on photomultiplier tubes and/or microchannel plates working with silicon photodiodes that increase the systems' complexity and weight. Scientists of India asked...
